The New Clarence will be open at 10am for the game for anybody in the town

breakfast will be on offer

and we will be re-showing the game tomorrow evening from 730pm

What time is KO, coverage starts at 10.30 on SKY, so was thinking probably an 11 KO?

doesn't get any better mate.

68000 there today - no spoilers from me

I'll spoil it!!



The nsw selectors want shooting.

was a decent game really enjoyed it even the clips of the 30 yrs of the origin at the beginning were quality viewing.

did anyone else notice that the play the ball was cleaner with a proper foot on the ball to play it. also with the way its reffed over there it was also a quick play the ball no spoiling or messing about.

maybe our game can learn from it by using up and coming refs to police the 10 metres and let the so called full time refs control the play the ball and be in overall control.

Well that was a huge let down. There seemed a real lack on intensity, big shots and agression. One of the poorest Origin games I have seen in some time.



NSW have to play Hayne at fullback and I would also play Lyon in the centres along with Idris.

I'm glad i'm not the only one that thinks this!



Agree with your 2nd point also, Hayne to fb play Gidley at 6 and Lyon and Idris in the centres.

i wasn't disapointed.... thought it was a good game and looking forward to next week already



i have seen better SOO in the past but i'm sure game 2 and 3 will improve. hopefully no rain and better attacking play from NSW



with berro, fitz and o'meley i am stuck being a neutral but still enjoy the game nonetheless !!

Queensland all the way for me, so was very pleased with the outcome!

wasnt a classic SOO, but still enjoyed the game, the SL looks like 3rd division rugby when you watch the SOO/NRL games, far far superior!

Thurston was superb but thought Sammy Thaiday was immense for the Maroons.



The fact Cam Smith and Ben Hannant are to come in for Queensland will mean its a 5peat
